busy-ness

the pioneer lady better watch out cause 

i have done some serious projects around here

(although my photos will never measure up to hers)

i go back to work tonight 

and so last week i got busy getting the nest in order....

first sewing new elastic into mr.e's puffy pants (aka cloth diapers),

made some yummy strawberry-raspberry freezer jam.

lots.

more than our freezer could hold. 

made a vat of salsa too.

got the recipe from my only brother-in-law on my side of the family.

who knew an italian guy could make such great salsa?

and planted these little beauties in the front planter. 

the poor planter that has been waiting to serve it's purpose

for a whole year.

not sure that 

cloth diapers,

homemade jam,

salsa

and roses

make a home orderly-

but they kept an anxious about going back to work mamma busy.

and busy-ness is my best cure for anxiousness.
